Shahrukh Khan, who became the posterboy of Indian hockey after the release and super-success of Chak De India in 2007 is now set to give another fillip to the national game.From what we hear, the superstar might play the role of the Hockey legend Dhyan Chand, in a Bollywood movie that is in the works. In case you don’t know, Dhyan Chand is the best hockey player to have come from India and he was certainly the world’s best from 1928 to 1936. He won three Olympic Gold Medals (1928, 1932 and 1936) and was often called the ‘wizard’ for his incredible ball control.
Now, Bollywood is going to pay a tribute to Dhyan Chand with a biopic and the makers are reportedly considering Shahrukh Khan for the lead role.
Shahrukh already has a good grip over his hockey playing skills and displayed some of those in Chak De India in which he played the coach of a girl’s hockey team. Since then, the superstar has lend his support to promoting the game on several occasions, but his portrayal of Dhyan Chand will be the most valuable contribution to the National sport.
